Tutorial - Adobe Audition
In this tutorial I was asked to use the multi track view in Adobe Audition to add music and a time signature to the shortened news edit to create a more professional sounding news announcement. I firstly brought the separate tracks (including the news edit) into the multi track view (F12 shortcut). I then used the ‘slice tool’ to cut each part and the ‘hybrid tool’ to move each one into place.
You can see from the screen shot above how I have created envelopes (seen by the diagonal lines on the upper sound file). These are volume envelopes and can be controlled by changing the levels of the line running just below the top of the file in the timeline. I used the envelopes to fade the files in and out, or lowering the volume level for when music is played along with speech.
